I&I at Brixton Library 16 Feb

At Brixton Library on Wednesday 16 Feb for a talk on I&I: The Natural Mystics, and a special screening of an extract from Esther Anderson and Gian Godoy's alluring documentary on Bob Marley. Some of the images captured by Esther have a poignant "home footage" feel to them. Bob's famous screwface countenance gives way to an unguarded, playful abandonment.
